New tires finally :)

[Merzbow]

Here they are, I finally bought some tires. They are Barum Bravuris's. $340 for the four of them including balance and installation. They have a 45,000mile tread life I beleive. I can't even begin to describe the increase in handling compared to the stock Goodyears that came with the car...they were bald at 28,000 miles.

A pic of the tread. I was so nervous driving on the other ones...it's such a beautiful feeling I had to post pics BTW, excuse the rear bumper, it's in the process of getting textured (it's off a mono-tone Vibe so it was sprayed silver temporarily)

LOL, thanks everyone. Should be raining this weekend so I can test it out.I got them at Discount Tire. They were really helpful. i was watching them install through the window and they were careful as well which makes me happy. He made sure they knew I had neons underneath so they could use different lifts.

If you have the protection plan that is. The plan is usable at any Discount Tire, not just the store you bought your tires at.I'll be going back there for all my tire needs

Yeah I decided against the protection plan. I am pretty good about avoiding damaging objects and if it is that bad than I deserve to buy a new tire (removed) I went to Belle Tire a while back and they had horrible customer service. The way the people sounded was like I was giving them an inconvenience by being there. They just stood there and stared at me instead of helping me pick out a a tire or asking me what kind of performance I was looking for. The Belle Tire is RIGHT next door to Discount Tire so they lost my buisness lol.
